Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 1)

What? No only up to 6 R-27R/ER or 4 R-27R/ER + 2 R-27T/ET. Plus 4 R-73 or 2 R-73 and ECM

Maybe I was thinking max number of R-77s? Looks like you’re correct. It’s still 10 better missiles than the F-15 could carry, to include the AMRAAM.

Su-27SK(?) Su-27SM/SM3 can carry only up to 8 R-77 + 2 R-73 .Su-33 Su-30M… Su-34 Su-35 can carry up to 8 R-27/E. Or up to 10 R-77 + R-73.
( Su-35 can 12 R-77 with dual R-77 pylon between engine. )

The first versions, especially the export ones, that literally had the radar of the MiG-21 and were limited to 5Gs were bad. Already with the M version the MiG-23 will out turn the phantom.

But it’s really the MiG-23Ml that brought the MiG-23 series to life. While clearly inferior to the F-14 and F-15, it allowed the Soviets in 1976 to mass produce a fighter with a well working Look/Down shot down radar and inverse monopulse seeker missiles.
So while the F-15 and the F-14 were better fighters, most of the US aircraft in the late 70s were still F4Es without a Ld/Sd radar or ir limited F-16 and until the AiM7-M even the F-15 and the F-14 lacked a SARH missile actually useful at low altitude

Not so- …on the MiG-23 mod.71/M…RIS (Lever-pulse signaling of extreme angles of attack) …
On the MiG-23M late and MiG-23ML (SOUA)…On the MiG-23MLD (SOS-Signal restriction System)…On these variants, the Overpowering of the RUS (Handle Control of the Aircraft) is provided…

The third source might be useful in bug reporting the MiG-23MLD, as I believe it’s underperforming in AoA, sustained turn rate. Do you have more information in there? Let’s move this to DM’s to avoid taking the thread further off topic.

-edit- Further testing seems to indicate MiG-23MLD is limited from 26-27 degrees AoA in 33 degree sweep. During sudden pitchup at 0.4-0.6 mach it can achieve sometimes ~30 degrees. 33 degrees is not attainable.

No…Look-A private message!

Phazotron OKB-339 never developed an advance radar for the Mig29. Because their radar did not fit. Soviets resorted to using an upgraded version of the Mig23 radar which was already completely exploited by the US. This radar was called the NO19. All Mig29 radars are derivatives of the Mig23 radar. Not only that, Adolf Tolkachev who worked at Phazotron gave the CIA all the details for the Mig29s radar & also R-23,R-24, R-33, R-27 R-60 S-300, MiG-31and Su-27.

“The Billion Dollar Spy”

The Su27 had the advanced radar. Mig29 radar was a cheap alternative in which the US already knew everything they needed to know about. Nothing impressive about it. Been reading it all day.

Have you read this history? It’s awesome.

We’d prefer you just linked the story instead of inaccurately laying it out to us… as of now it just seems like troll / bait text with the amount of inaccurate stuff you’re sharing.

What is inaccurate about it? How is it trolling? Its literally history. Because it offends you?

Thats your problem

I said the Su27 is the one with the advanced radar.

Well, as stated the N019(MP) radar was only fitted to the 9-17 SMT-1 prototypes… SMT model in-game uses N010M…

the word derivative check it out.

Additionally, you do not know a thing about it. So how do you know I am I inaccurately laying anything out? What was inaccurate with what I shared? Interesting.

Its not like I am posting magazine articles clippings from unknown Matra officials as technical sources, right?

The in-game model uses N010M so if you have a source stating otherwise I’m gonna go with that, that’s all. I’m not caught up in the conversation it seems, Where did the impression it used that radar (N019) come from?

I know this hits an emotional spot for some odd reason. But I already said many of the issues with the Mig29 radar was addressed at the time of the SMT…

Its still a derivative of the original compromised radar.

Who said or indicated the NO19 was inside the SMT? WHO?

Phasatron is the only developer and manufacturer of radars for the MiG-29

Yes… Very good.

I must have missed it, you have a reliable source for this information?

The last I read into it, the N019 Topaz / Rubin were completely separate developments of the Zhuk series.

If you read it, show it to me. what is absolutely different about it?

Or at least explain in your own words. Surely you can do that right?
